McCaw -8

O'Connor - 2

Cruden - 3

It leaves Australia with the Herculean task of beating the All Blacks twice in New Zealand if it wants to hold the Bledisloe Cup for the first time in 11 years.

Despite New Zealand's indisputable recent dominance of the Wallabies, Hansen surprisingly suggested Australia wasn't getting its share of luck in the trans-Tasman encounters.

"It's just at the moment we seem to have a little bit more luck against them than they have against us," Hansen said.

"But I think they've got the nucleus of a very good side, and I think they've had a nucleus of a very good side for a long time."

'Next week's a different game': McKenzie

Wallaby coach Ewen McKenzie was quick to point out that despite a lacklustre performance last night - and issues in defence, which has now shipped 88 points in the past two tests - Australia is not finished yet.

"They reaped the reward for the pressure they put on us but next week's a different game," McKenzie told reporters after the match.

"You go back to the drawing board, you can't be happy with the scoreline, there's stuff, there's little processes that we can tighten up.

"I've been around the rugby scene a long time and you'll see 70 point turnarounds in seven days.

"We're not going to sit here and get bogged down and spin our wheels, we'll concentrate on the positives and tidy up some of the things we need to."

Hansen happy to claim Kiwi-born Wallabies

Asked about Australian five-eighths Matt Toomua and Quade Cooper, Hansen could not resist making a jibe about the amount of New Zealand-born pivots in the two squads.

"I'm just happy that I've got Dan Carter and Aaron Cruden and Beauden Barrett for that matter, so all five of these people are very good rugby players," Hansen said.

"Four of them are New Zealanders and I'm not sure where Toomua was born either, it might be all five."

Unlike Cooper, Toomua was not born in New Zealand - not unless it has suddenly claimed ownership of Melbourne, where Toomua was born.

Hansen felt Cruden and captain Richie McCaw answered their critics with their efforts in Saturday's game.

"To come back after having a break and everyone doubted him, to get through the 70 minutes like he (McCaw) did, shows the character of the bloke once again," Hansen said.

"So hopefully there won't be any more doubters."

He said Cruden had been unfairly "question-marked" over his top-flight performance.

"I think he showed tonight that he is a true international player of world-class ability and he led the team very well," Hansen said.

Hansen was also pleased with the performances of veteran centre Ma'a Nonu and flanker Steven Luatua, who made his Test debut in Sydney.
